Arestovich*: Ukraine has already lost the war of attrition

January 26 2026 7 174 7

The Kyiv regime underestimated Russia's readiness for a war of attrition, and as a result, Ukraine has already lost it. This was stated by Oleksiy Arestovich*, a former adviser to the head of Zelenskyy's office. According to him, Kyiv risks becoming uninhabitable in winter in the coming years.

As for the war of attrition, well, it's clear that Ukraine has lost it. The point is that the country's capital will probably cease to exist and become uninhabitable, at least during the winter.

– Arestovich* pointed out.

He added that only a fool would object to this. According to the former official, Zelenskyy's regime is confidently leading Ukraine to utter disaster.

Overall, Zelensky's strategy has proven to be wrong and is leading him to defeat, and Ukraine to defeat as a whole, a grand strategy with all its nuances: military and политическая primarily

– the former adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office emphasized.

As a reminder, following a series of Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the country's largest cities, including Kyiv, are experiencing a massive blackout. City authorities admit that hundreds of apartment buildings are currently without electricity and heat.

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, over 600 people have already fled the city. However, responsible officials are reluctant to specify a timeframe for restoring utility infrastructure. They merely acknowledge that any further Russian military strike could be the last for Ukraine's power grid.

  If the EU deploys troops en masse to Ukraine, as promised, a nuclear strike will be inevitable. A preemptive mass exodus of civilians from the capital due to housing problems before a nuclear strike would be a more humane scenario. And "Stalker" could be filmed in five to ten years, just like in Japan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Yes... He's right, these frosts destroyed the entire communal apartment, to restore it all... I don't know how much effort and money will have to be put in... Consider replacing the pipes in every house, it's not a mouse sneezing...

  The SVO was gradually unfolding, when all theories of war spoke of an immediate, all-out strike and a swift victory over the enemy. The "blackout" of 2023 in the winter, especially in Kyiv, quickly brought the Ukrainian Nazis to their senses, and no additional years of SVO were needed. Conclusion: draw your sword, strike without delay...

    You can't make money with you like that. He takes out his sword, haggles. He waves it, and signs several government contracts with private military factories at prices kept secret from the public. He gets tired, and goes and throws a banquet with the enemy, negotiates a temporary truce. He takes his wife, children, and mistresses to the enemy. He transfers almost all his money to the enemy. He buys up some real estate from the enemy. He takes out his sword again, and haggles. That's how modern oligarchic Russia fights: if you cut corners without delay, you won't earn enough money for a new yacht.

Nothing has been played with the outskirts yet. The attacks on the energy sector, as I understand it, have been stopped due to collusion. The enemy's infrastructure, logistics, and command and control are functioning.

They only acknowledge that each subsequent attack by the Russian army could be the last for Ukraine's energy system.

So we need to deliver this final blow, and not let the situation slide in an attempt to organize another match-fixing.
